Early Super Access for IVF Expenses

Understanding Early Super Access for IVF Expenses

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments, while offering hope, can be a substantial financial burden. If you are considering the option of using your superannuation funds to finance IVF treatment, Claimsplus Lawyers provides a detailed guide to help you through the process.

Eligibility and Documentation for Super Access:

Access Under Compassionate Grounds: You may be eligible to apply for the early release of superannuation to cover the costs of IVF treatments under the 'compassionate grounds' provision. This is usually applicable when IVF is considered medically necessary and other financial avenues have been explored.
Requirement of Medical Evidence: To utilise your super for IVF costs, detailed medical documentation is necessary. This should include certifications from medical professionals affirming the treatment's necessity and its associated costs.

Limits on Super Withdrawal for IVF:

Understanding Withdrawal Restrictions: Be aware that there are limitations on the amount you can withdraw for medical expenses, including IVF treatments. Knowing these limits is important for effective financial planning around your IVF journey.

Procedure for Superannuation Withdrawal Application:

Comprehensive Application Process: When applying for early release of super to fund IVF treatment, ensure your application is complete and includes all required medical documentation. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or your super fund will review your application based on the information provided.
Seeking Financial Consultation: As early withdrawal from super funds can significantly impact your future financial health and retirement plans, it is advisable to consult with a financial advisor or the ATO. They can offer valuable insights into the impact of such a withdrawal on your super balance and assist you in making a well-informed decision.
